I would like to simplify my code to avoid any repetition of the same code format. I did a custom post type of Glossary from A-Z, though i did a basic custom Query Post but it end-up to messy code output.
<?php
$args = array (
'post_type' => array( 'cre-library' ),
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => 'post_category', 'value' => 'A', 'compare' => 'LIKE', 'type' => 'CHAR' ) )
);
$query = new WP_Query ( $args );
if ($query->have_posts()) :
echo '<div id="content-for-a" class="active">';
echo '<h2>A</h2>';
while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
the_title('<h3>','</h3>');
the_content();
endwhile;
echo '</div>';
endif;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
<?php
$args = array (
'post_type' => array( 'cre-library' ),
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array( array( 'key' => 'post_category', 'value' => 'B', 'compare' => 'LIKE', 'type' => 'CHAR' ) )
);
$query = new WP_Query ( $args );
if ($query->have_posts()) :
echo '<div id="content-for-b">';
echo '<h2>B</h2>';
while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();
the_title('<h3>','</h3>');
the_content();
endwhile;
echo '</div>';
endif;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
<?php //...and so on ?>
This code is working already. if we can simplify this into one loop block of PHP with having it matched post_category value per entry and display it all the post at the same time.

I'm having an issue with WP query filtered by ACF Post Object Field.
I have to query the 'post' filtered by 'author' acf field.
i'm using this code but this don't work
$post_type_query = new WP_Query(
array (
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'author',
'value' => 'prova'
)
)
)
);
Thereis one article on wordpress post with 'prova' author, but the query return empty.
I can't understand why
Thanks
Try this:
$postData = new WP_Query(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'author',
'value' => 'prova',
'compare' => '=' // or if you want like then use 'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
)
);
if($postData->have_posts()):
while ($postData->have_posts()): $postData->the_post();
echo "Post Title";
the_title();
echo '<div class="entry-content">';
the_content();
echo '</div>';
endwhile;
endif;
Question for all of ya. I have the current query running on my search page template, and it seems to be working fine if my search query seems to be included in the title of the post, but when I include a meta query to try and also look in another spot for the search term, it doesn't gather any results, only the same results it had before.
Second question, for some reason it still is only displaying 6 (the number of posts set in WP Admin) posts, and not listening to the query.
<?php // WP_User_Query arguments
$search_term = get_search_query();
$args = array (
'post_type' => 'courses',
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'title',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'nopaging' => true,
's' => '*'.$search_term.'*',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'course_id',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
$wp_course_query = new WP_Query($args);
// Get the results
$courses = $wp_course_query; ?>
<?php // Check for results
if (!empty($courses->get_posts())) { ?>
<ul class="course-list">
<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li> <?php the_title(); ?> </li>
<?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>
</ul>
<?php } else { ?>
<p>No courses match that query</p>
<?php } ?>
Things I've tried:
Hard coding the value, nothing there.
Removing * from 's'
It seems that this is just impossible in WordPress, so I had to do this another way.
$search_term = get_search_query();
$args = array (
'post_type' => 'courses',
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'title',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'nopaging' => true,
's' => $search_term
);
$args2 = array (
'post_type' => 'courses',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'nopaging' => true,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'course_id',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
)
)
);
$courses1 = get_posts($args);
$courses2 = get_posts($args2);
$merged = array_merge($courses1, $courses2);
$post_ids = array();
foreach ($merged as $item) {
$post_ids[] = $item->ID;
}
$unique = array_unique($post_ids);
$posts = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'courses',
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'title',
'post__in' => $unique,
'posts_per_page' => -1
)); ?>
I am using WPML and ACF in my WP.
Now I wanna list posts from the category ID 399 with the ACF Field "organization_type" and the value key "socialbusiness" but they do not show up.
This are my query tries:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => 399,
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
//'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'organization_type',
'value' => 'socialbusiness',
//'compare' => '='
)
)
);
//unset($args);
$args = array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_type' => 'post',
'cat' => 399,
'meta_key' => 'organization_type',
'meta_value' => 'socialbusiness'
);
// query
query_posts( $args );
while( have_posts() ) {
What am I doing wrong?
You should have just one variable $args because your first declaration of the variable is override by your second variable.
In your case your code should look like :
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => '-1',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'field' => 'id',
'terms' => 399
)
),
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'organization_type',
'value' => 'socialbusiness',
'compare' => '=',
'type' => 'CHAR'
),
)
);
$items = new WP_Query($args);
?>
<?php if($items->have_posts()) : ?>
<div class='item'>
<?php while($items->have_posts()) : $items->the_post() ?>
.....
<?php endwhile ?>
</div>
<?php endif ?>
I have this code,
$type = get_the_ID();
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$units3 = new wp_query( array( 'post_type' => 'units' ,
'posts_per_page'=> 6 ,
'paged' => $paged ,
'meta_key' => 'unittype',
'meta_value' => $type ) );
while ($units3->have_posts()) : $units3->the_post();
Its must get me all post from unit That is in the unit type that id = $type
But the query is get me all post.
It must get me only all post from unit post type that in unit type post type,
Where is error
Meta key is for using meta_value_num in order parameter,
You need to use meta_query for querying specific meta data
Test your query first until you get the correct data
$data = query_posts( array(
'post_type' => 'your_custom_post_type',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'meta_key' => 'your_order_meta_key',
'posts_per_page'=> 5,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'key_to_only_display_if_exist',
'value' => array( 3, 4 ),
'compare' => 'IN',
)
)
)
);
var_dump($data);
Then Use query_post
query_posts( array(
'post_type' => 'your_custom_post_type',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'meta_key' => 'your_order_meta_key',
'posts_per_page'=> 5,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'key_to_only_display_if_exist',
'value' => array( 3, 4 ),
'compare' => 'IN',
)
)
)
);
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
echo '<div class="post-entry">';
echo '<h2>' . get_the_title() . '</h2>';
echo '<div class="entry-content">'. apply_filters('the_content',get_the_content('Read More')).'</div>';
echo '</div>';
endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_query();
The following argument works properly for search results, however they aren't displaying in the proper ascending order. I'm looking to display the most expensive at the top, and so on.
Here's my code, where the $input_price is user defined by preset values within a form.
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
's' => $query,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'cat' => "$category_name",
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'price',
'value' => "$input_price",
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => '<=',
'order' => 'ASC'
)
)
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
I don't think this is the problem, but the 'price' is being output with currency and comma values, as seen below.
<?php $meta = get_post_custom($post->ID);
echo '$'.number_format($meta['price'][0], 0, '.', ',').''; ?>
Annnd here's the loop to display
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
<h1><?php the_title() ;?></h1>
<?php $meta = get_post_custom($post->ID);
echo '$'.number_format($meta['price'][0], 0, '.', ',').''; ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p>Sorry, there are no products within those search terms! Try Adjusting the maximum price.</p>
Thanks!
try DESC instead of ASC for greatest to smallest?
Found the answer!
The code below works as intended. I re-ordered my array slightly to include 'orderby' at the very end, while also specifying which key to order by.
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
's' => $query,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'cat' => "$category_name",
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'price',
'value' => "$input_price",
'type' => 'numeric',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'compare' => '<=',
)
),
"meta_key"=>"price",
"orderby"=>"meta_value_num",
'order' => 'ASC'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
